WITHIN THE WALLS OF WAL-MART

He squandered his family 's inheritance
got a gun and shot himself
behind the walls of WALMART

He fell down and hit his head
How long was he unconscious?
They just withdrew his life support
He rests now in hospice

Every day,beggars camp
at the WALMART entrance
I do not mind their food and drink tax
Do they have to mention Jesus?

The gas is cheapest in this town
The only attraction i may have
to drag me down to WALMART Town
where corpses rest like graveyards

Every little town all round the world
regrets their big box intrusions
Tell me then,in their construction-
is WALMART just a coffin?
